Sleeveless Kerry fan that stole Met Gala show explains his love for The Kingdom

We love a good GAA jersey at a non-GAA event.

James Clayton won the adulation and tickled the Irish nation's collective funny bone, recently, when he was pictured in a sleeveless Kerry football jersey during the Met Gala in New York. The NYC native was looking lean, mean and sleeveless as he was captured by cameras snapping Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour at the fashion event. Clayton was on Radio Kerry today and gave the story behind the infamous photo-bomb and, more importantly, where he picked up the jersey. He commented, 'I am New York's number one Kerry fan. I'm an ambassador for Kerry and I honestly don't think anyone represents The Kingdom as well [as I do]... I tell people that. They can see it in my eyes, they can smell it. I'm just a huge fan.' https://soundcloud.com/radio-kerry-1/the-man-in-the-kerry-jersey-at-the-met-ball
